Because FreeSBIE doesn't need it. =)

how come?  Why would FreeSBIE already know what filesystems are mountable and a regular FreeBSD would not?

Besides, who do *I* know what filesystems are mountable if I use FreeSBIE, in particular journalized filesystems which, I was told, FreeBSD/FreeSBIE cannot read?  Where can I get the /etc/fstab info in FreeSBIE

No.

ok. why not? why would not a "mount" command followed by a /dev/something not be enough?

One more question: can FreeSBIE be used with a dial-up connection?  Is there something like ppp-config/pon CLI/GUI app for dial-up with FreeSBIE?

Many thanks!
